| Clue | Answer |
| Sodium chloride, potassium cyanide, calcium phosphate, etc Crossword Clue 13 Letters | SALTY LANGUAGE |
"Sodium chloride, potassium cyanide, calcium phosphate, etc." is a playful way of hinting at the nature of the substances listed. Each of these compounds consists of elements that, when combined, form salts or other chemical compounds.
Sodium chloride is common table salt, potassium cyanide is a deadly compound, and calcium phosphate is found in bones and teeth. The term "SALTY LANGUAGE" serves as a humorous answer because it refers to both the chemical nature of these compounds (which are often salts) and colloquially describes strong or coarse language, playing on the dual meanings of "salty."
